How To Make Parquet Floors Look Modern

Parquet flooring makes for a beautiful addition to any home. It’s stylish, chic, and has become increasingly modern with wider planks and more color options. While stunning, parquet flooring can be intimidating to style a home around. Here we’ve rounded up some simple ways to get the most out of your parquet flooring, making it look sophisticated and fresh. 

WORK YOUR DECOR AROUND THE FLOOR

The look of a space can change drastically depending on what you fill it with. Area rugs, plants and plant stands, wall art, and furniture are all elements that you can bring together for a particular look. If you want simplicity to contrast with the busyness of a parquet floor, neutral colored furniture, large leaf green plants, and gold hardware accents are a great starting place!

 

CHANGE OUT YOUR LIGHTING

Lighting is another detail that can swing the look of a room one way or the other. For instance, an ornate and beaded chandelier would lend to a more classically gothic feel, while a sputnik chandelier or pendant lamp makes for a modern and trendy feel.

 

CONSIDER THE COLOR OF THE FLOOR

Nowadays you can find countless color and finish options for parquet floors. This is an important element when considering how you want your space to feel. Lighter options, such as gray and white, give a room a bright and  airy feel, perfect for a living room. Black is a great option for a space that you want to look sleek, elegant and very on trend.
